Our world has changed greatly
since the time I graduated from
High School in 1964.
Drive-in theaters were still a
place to go on a Saturday night.
Transistor radios were a hot
item for teens, and most of
us learned to type on
mechanical typewriters.
Telephones were mostly
dial-up versions.
And most of us had to wind up
our watches unless we had one
of those new ones,
that wound up by itself by
the motion of our wrists.
But all of these are a
thing of the past.
Today it is all about computers.
We talk directly with others
over Skype or Zoom.
For some, hardcopy letters are
ancient history--everything is
computerized, including
greeting cards.
Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, and
Instagram are the ways many
interact socially.
But there are equally profound
social changes in society,
not the least of which
concerns how men and women
see themselves.
The feminist movement which
really took off in the
Seventies has had a dramatic
impact on culture and families.
Do you realize that a reversal
in the roles of men and women
was predicted long ago in the
pages of the Bible?
I'll read that to you in a
moment, so stay tuned.

Welcome to Tomorrow's World
where we fearlessly tackle the
problems facing our world and
bring you good news of a better
world to come.
On today's program, I'll be
discussing the feminist movement
and how it is fulfilling a
prophecy from the Biblical
prophet Isaiah.
And because that movement has
changed everything we ought to
know about the institution of
marriage and family, I'll be
offering you our free resource
God's Plan for Happy Marriage.

available so you can take down
the contact information.
Among feminists' most successful
initiative was the 1992 report
released by the American
Association of University Women
(AAUW), titled "How Schools
Shortchange Girls."
It alleged that boys were
favored in the classroom while
girls were ignored, but the
report was biased and dishonest.
Dr. James Dobson had this to say
about it in his popular book,
Bringing Up Boys:
The report garnered significant
attention in academia and in
public perception and brought
about dramatic changes in
how schools approached
boys and girls.
Dobson went on to write that:
Most damaging was when Congress,
as a result of lobbying
from various feminist
organizations, passed:
[so-called]
Among the initiatives in the
Act, money was funneled to:
What the feminist movement, and
especially the Act, has done is
create an atmosphere that is
bringing about the fulfilling of
an ancient prophecy.
You can read it in Isaiah 3
and verse 12...
Education has changed at all
levels since the AAUW report,
calling for an emphasis in
education in favor of
women and girls.
So, after 30 years, what are the
results of these changes?
I'll answer that question
in a moment, but I want
to mention today's resource.
One of the changes in society as
a result of the feminist
movement is marriage and family.

Before the break I said I would
show the dramatic results of
changes in education since the
release of the biased, and now
discredited, 1992 American
Association of University Women
report titled, "How Schools
Shortchange Girls."
The resulting bias in favor of
girls in education, starting at
the earliest levels, has
had its effect.
The September 6, 2021 Wall
Street Journal published
an opinion piece by
Douglas Belkin titled:
The numbers are disturbing.
Roughly 60 percent of college
admissions are women and schools
of higher learning struggle just
to keep the male population at
the 40 percent level.
Samuel Goldman, writing for The
Week, in the article titled:
Points out that the ratio
between men and women would be
even worse were it not for
a bit of fudging on
entrance requirements.
As disturbing as that is, it's
only part of a dismal picture.
Going to university is one
thing--graduating is another.
Belkin explains:
Now those percentages are
significant, but when we put
them to specific numbers,
they are shocking.
If you take 100 students where
60 are women and 40 are men,
and apply the percentages who
graduate in 4 years, it means
for every 42 women graduates you
only have 22 men.
Some would argue, "So what?
Men still make more money
and hold the power
positions in our world."
That's the conventional wisdom,
but Goldman points
out that this is
"largely a generational effect."
He explains that
leaders across the board,
whether in industry, commerce,
communications, or government:
He then explains what should
be obvious to us all.
The double standard goes
beyond education.
For decades, women strove to
invade every bastion of
male exclusivity.
Women reporters demanded equal
access to men's locker
rooms for interviews.
Girls clamored to play on
boys' baseball teams.
They lobbied for admittance
into the Boy Scouts.
Anything that was singularly
male became a target, but could
you ever imagine males
being allowed into women's
locker rooms or competing
in women's sports?
Well, I guess we now can.
What goes around comes around.
Yes, by a bizarre circuitous
route, men and boys are today
invading everything female, by
simply claiming that they are
females trapped in male bodies.
Girls and women are pushed aside
as confused, or opportunistic,
men break record after record in
female track and field,
in weightlifting, and more.
Scholarships that should rightly
go to girls are funneled to
biological boys who will never
become biological girls.
I can only imagine the anger
fathers must feel when they
see their daughters robbed
in this way.
In October 2017 the Boy Scouts
of America began admitting girls
to their organization.
Not surprisingly, the ones most
disturbed by this turn of events
were the Girl Scouts.
Yes, what goes around
does come around.
The problem is not that special
programs have encouraged girls
in academics, sports and
leadership, but that these
resources are mostly going
in one direction.
And just as girls have special
needs, so do boys, and without
proper support and motivation,
too many are left adrift,
feeling lost.
Boys especially need guidance
and focus as Belkin explains.
Or, as civil engineering student
Luke Weiss put it:
What we see is a world
turned upside down.
Instead of men as leaders, we
have men floating aimlessly,
with more and more leadership
positions going to women.
Some women no doubt rejoice in
this turnaround, but thoughtful
women understand that the
problem is not good for
society as a whole.
As college enrollment consultant
Jennifer Delahunty warns, the
disparity we see in education
today is not only bad for men,
but also for women.
One wonders, "Has the feminist
movement, which spawned
the biased AAUW study,
improved the lives of women?
Are women happier as a result?"
I'll answer that question in a
moment, but let me remind you of
today's offer--God's Plan
for Happy Marriage.
Marriage was once important to
both men and women, but it's a
shadow of what it once was.
What we see today is a hook
up culture with marriage
an afterthought.
It's a one-day event for a woman
to have her fairy tale day in
the sun with an expensive dress
and all the trimmings,
but does either the bride
or groom understand God's
purpose for marriage?
Do you?
God's Plan for Happy Marriage
explains the why of marriage,
and it is far more
than most realize.

we'll answer the question,
"Are women happier today?"

The feminist movement of the
second half of the 20th century
changed our world in many ways.
As we have seen, the biased and
discredited 1992 report put out
by the American Association of
University Women has had
a dramatic effect on
girls and women.
Universities now favor women by
a ratio of 60 to 40 and there
are only 22 men for every 42
women who graduate from
university in four years.
Before the break I said we'll
answer the question,
According to a 2013 Psychology
Today article, the 1970's
feminist movement has
not translated into
greater happiness.
Quoting from the referenced
study, "The Paradox of Declining
Female Happiness":
Britain's Daily Mail Online
published an article in response
to the study, titled:
In it, Netmums website founder
Siobhan Freegard explains:
An interesting observation is
found in The Guardian, another
British source, on May 18, 2016.
It explains that the Swiss did
not give women the right to
vote until 1971.
Many things in life
are counterintuitive.
They go against expectations.
Ten years after receiving the
right to vote, another
referendum was held.
This time to decide whether to
amend their constitution
to require equal pay
for equal work.
One of the casualties
of the feminist
movement has been
marriage and family.
Feminists wanted to be free from
what they described as the
drudgery of housework and the
responsibility of children.
They wanted sexual freedom and
the result is a hook
up generation where
the commitment of marriage
has declined sharply.
This is why we are offering
our free study guide,
God's Plan for Happy Marriage.
It can be yours free

The feminist movement that set
in during the second half of the
last century has failed to bring
the happiness and fulfillment
to women as a whole.
There are certainly women who
are happy with their careers,
but studies show that overall,
women are less happy today
than they were in the 1970s.
This should not surprise us,
because the feminist movement,
among other things, is a
rejection of God.
This is not to say that
individual activists--and
especially women who simply
bought into the attractive
sounding propaganda, without
truly understanding it--were
deliberately rejecting God.
They saw the feminist movement
as an attempt to improve the lot
of women and did not realize it
sought to overturn the roles of
both men and women as given in
our Creator's instruction
book--the Bible.
But make no mistake.
It is an attempt to do away with
the nuclear family.
But is that wise?
If we are indeed a product of
creation and design, the Creator
and Designer must know what is
best for that which He created
and designed.
And, indeed He does.
The Biblical prophet Isaiah
predicted that the reversal of
traditional male/female roles
would take place at the
end of the age.
For he said...
Men have not brought the world
peace, and must bear
responsibility for the world as
it is today, but will
women do any better?
Not according to this prophecy.
Samuel Goldman's prediction that
"The American elite will be
female," is correct, even if
Isaiah "scooped him" by more
than 2700 years.
Of course, it was not Isaiah,
but our Creator who understood
this in advance.
In a later passage, Isaiah
quotes God as saying...
Male and female relations have
never been in perfect balance.
Far from it.
Even today women are horribly
abused in some countries around
the world, where girls are not
allowed to go to school and
women may be beaten mercilessly
with no consequences handed out
to their husbands.
Yet, our Western world has gone
to a different extreme where men
are considered bumbling fools
incapable of the proper
leadership role they were given
by their Creator.
Radical feminists, many of whom
resent men, perhaps
due to abuse in their
upbringing, or for other
reasons, reject the God-given
roles of men and women.
And too many men are not being
trained to be the loving
providers and leaders they
were created to be.
The Bible lays out
these simple facts...
It is obvious that
men and women are different
physically and emotionally,
but these differences
are being discounted.
Today it is the woman who comes
to the rescue of the man.
Need a tire changed?
Woman to the rescue.
Have a problem in business?
Woman is there.
Being attacked by city thugs?
There she is again--stronger,
quicker than any man, and a
marvel at karate.
But is this reality?
I think we know the answer.
Men and women were made to
complement, not compete,
with one another.
Men are designed physically to
be protectors and providers.
It's not that a woman cannot
provide and where the husband
suffers sickness or injury, it
may be necessary to reverse
the roles temporarily
or even permanently.
There is no stigma to this.
A man can still be the head of
his household even under such
circumstances, but when men do
not prepare for the proper place
of being the breadwinner and
leave it to the wife to go
out into the world to
"bring home the bread,"
problems readily arise.
A woman needs to be loved and a
man needs to be respected and
these needs are more likely
to suffer when the
roles are reversed.
Instead of women fighting for
control of the pants,
God instructs...
Feminists have long scorned this
passage as being sexist and
misogynistic, not understanding
that God has a plan far greater
than they could ever imagine.
Referring to the
marriage relationship,
Paul went on to say...
The blending of male and female
in marriage is essential to a
well-ordered society.
History shows that, as with the
family, so goes the nation.
Marriage between one biological
male and one biological female
can bring children into a
balanced, nurturing, and loving
environment where male and
female contribute their
unique qualities.
Family is a perfect training
ground to learn good manners,
caring for others,
self-discipline,
and self-sacrifice.
This only scratches the
surface of God's purpose
for men and women.

resource, God's Plan for Happy
Marriage, to learn more about
your role and purpose in life.
